Standford Hill Wind Park Opening

Wind energy developer Partnerships for Renewables (PfR) has unveiled its first completed turbine installation at HMP Standford Hill on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent, with a formal opening by local MP, Gordon Henderson.

The two-turbine, 4.6MW development is the result of a collaboration with the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) and the Sheppey Prisons Cluster. The turbines provide the MoJ a rent based on a percentage from sale of the electricity. This saves money for the public purse, creates clean energy on public land and helps the MoJ to improve its sustainability credentials.
